As suggested in #2521
- Move `ABORT_ON_ENDSTOP_HIT_FEATURE_ENABLED` because `SDSUPPORT` is
also required.
- Add a note that endstops must be enabled for the feature to have any
effect
Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS is a feature to enable the use of 2 endstops for both Z
steppers - Let's call them Z stepper and Z2 stepper.
That way the machine is capable to align the bed during home, since both
Z steppers are homed.
There is also an implementation of M666 (software endstops adjustment)
to this feature.
After Z homing, this adjustment is applied to just one of the steppers
in order to align the bed.
One just need to home the Z axis and measure the distance difference
between both Z axis and apply the math: Z adjust = Z - Z2.
If the Z stepper axis is closer to the bed, the measure Z > Z2 (yes, it
is.. think about it) and the Z adjust would be positive.
Play a little bit with small adjustments (0.5mm) and check the
behaviour.
The M119 (endstops report) will start reporting the Z2 Endstop as well.
- Add BIT and TEST macros
- Add _APPLY_ macros to stepper.cpp to help with consolidation
- Consolidate code in stepper.cpp using macros
- Apply standards in stepper.cpp
- Use >= 0 instead of > -1 as a better semantic
- Replace DUAL_Y_CARRIAGE with Y_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS
It is a realtime control over the head position via the LCD menu system that works _while_ printing.
Using it, one can e.g. tune the z-position in realtime, while printing the first layer.
Also, lost steps can be manually added/removed, but thats not the prime feature.
Stuff is placed into the Tune->Babystep *
It is not possible to have realtime control via gcode sending due to the buffering, so I did not include a gcode yet. However, it could be added, but it movements will not be realtime then.
Historically, a very similar thing was implemented for the "Kaamermaker" project, while Joris was babysitting his offspring, hence the name.
say goodby to fuddling around with the z-axis.
and the mechanism so that if an endstop is hit it the ISR, the steps_to_be_taken are stored, and some current_block data that will be deleted in the next move
If the normal loop() then finds such an event, the position is calculated (floats would have taken too long in the ISR) A serial message is generated.
